Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Lettera d'amore alle Muse che fuggono by Nicola de Maria was sold in the 20th/21st Century Milan Online Sale auction at Christies in Hong Kong in May this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of EUR 50,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of EUR 50,400.00 could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nicola de Maria - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Regno dei fiori, which sold at auction in October 2001 for GBP 108,250.00 (€ 174,947.79).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Lettera d'amore alle Muse che fuggono von Nicola de Maria wurde im Mai diesen Jahres in der Auktion 20th/21st Century Milan Online Sale bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 50.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von EUR 50.400,00 konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Nicola de Maria mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Regno dei fiori beobachtet, die im Oktober 2001 für GBP 108.250,00 (€ 174.947,79) versteigert wurde.
